GRAND DESIGN Idolizer (Hard Rock) GRAND DESIGN Idolizer (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 2011 Nombre de pistes : 10 Durée : 49' Support : CD Provenance : Reçu du label Cette chronique a été rédigée par NOCTUS, qu'il en soit remercié !!! GRAND DESIGN peut se révéler comme le piège parfait lors d'une soirée "quiz" Hard-Rock type "blind test" entre amis : Quel est ce groupe ? Ça me dit quelque chose ! Ce gros "classic rock" mélodique 80's me fait penser à DEF LEPPARD, bien sûr ! Perdu et pourtant les points communs sont multiples : un Hard-FM ultra produit, plus axé sur les guitares que les synthés, des choeurs massifs, des mélodies somptueuses et puissantes. Leur premier album Time Elevation sorti en 2009 présentait déjà de sérieux atouts, son successeur le dépasse incontestablement par la richesse de l'ensemble des titres, aucun remplissage, pas de chanson faible. Les quatre premiers titres s'enchaînent sans aucun temps mort, je prends vraiment du plaisir sur des morceaux très entraînants comme les excellents "Get On With Action" ou "Your Love 's A Runaway". En fait, seule la voix de Pelle SAETHER, plus aiguë que celle de Joe ELLIOTT mais toujours agréable, permet de différencier GRAND DESIGN du groupe mélodique de Sheffield (UK). Nous savons que cette influence majeure est complètement assumée par le groupe et s'avère donc comme son principal défaut envers un public avide de modernité ou un gage de qualité chez les "melodic rock lovers". Amateurs(trices) de "Hysteria" et "Adrenalize", cet Idolizer au son très actuel malgré tout, ne doit pas vous échapper. GRAND DESIGN reprend le flambeau et sort l'album que n'a pas su sortir DEF LEPPARD dans les 1990's et 2000's. Sa participation remarquée à l'édition 2010 du Firefest à Nottingham, plus grand festival AOR / Hard-Rock mélodique européen montre que le combo suédois n'est pas qu'un groupe de studio. Une formation à suivre donc de très près, qui devra néanmoins acquérir un peu plus de personnalité et de diversité par rapport à son maître dans le futur. GRAND DESIGN : Pelle SAETHER : chant, chœurs Anders MODD : basse Peter LEDIN : guitare, chœurs Dennis VESTMAN : guitare, chœurs Richard HOLMGREN : batterie, chœurs Merci à NOCTUS pour cette chronique rédigée par sa plume et cet éclaircissement du deuxième album de GRAND DESIGN !

  • Singing Accent Americanisation in the Light of Frequency Effects: Lot Unrounding and Price Monophthongisation in Focus
    Research in Language, 2018, vol. 16:2 DOI: 10.2478/rela-2018-0008 SINGING ACCENT AMERICANISATION IN THE LIGHT OF FREQUENCY EFFECTS: LOT UNROUNDING AND PRICE MONOPHTHONGISATION IN FOCUS MONIKA KONERT-PANEK University of Warsaw [email protected] Abstract The paper investigates – within the framework of usage-based phonology – the significance of lexical frequency effects in singing accent Americanisation. The accent of Joe Elliott of a British band, Def Leppard is analysed with regard to LOT unrounding and PRICE monophthongisation. Both auditory and acoustic methods are employed; PRAAT is used to provide acoustic verification of the auditory analysis whenever isolated vocal tracks are available. The statistical significance of the obtained results is verified by means of a chi- square test. In both analysed cases the percentage of frequent words undergoing the change is higher compared with infrequent ones and in the case of PRICE monphthongisation the result is statistically significant, which suggests that word frequency may affect singing style variation. Keywords: frequency effects, LOT unrounding, popular music, PRICE monophthong- gisation, singing accent, usage-based phonology 1. Introduction The phenomenon of style-shifting involved in pop singing in general and the Americanisation of British singing accent in particular have been investigated from various theoretical perspectives (Trudgill 1983, Simpson 1999, Beal 2009, Gibson and Bell 2012 among others). Depending on the theoretical standpoint, the notions of identity, reference style or default accent have been brought to light and assigned major explanatory power. Trudgill (1983) in his seminal paper on the sociolinguistics of British pop-song pronunciation interprets the emulation of the American accent as a symbolic tribute to the origins of popular music and provides the list of six characteristic features of this stylisation (1), two of which ((1c) and (1d)) are addressed in the present paper.

VINYL Def Leppard were the definitive hard rock band of the ‘80s. There were groups that rocked harder, but few captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late ‘70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Def Leppard gained a following outside of that scene by toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody. In The Many Faces of Def Leppard, we are going to dig deep into the lesser known work of their members, collaborations, side projects and of course, their hit-filled catalog.

  • Def Leppard “Hysteria” By: Kyle Harman
    Def Leppard “Hysteria” By: Kyle Harman Hysteria would be a fitting name for the album thought Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, following his 1984 injury from a horrific car accident that resulted in the loss of his left arm, Hysteria was the perfect title to describe the worldwide media coverage that followed the band between the years of 1984 and 1987. The album was the last to feature the late Steve Clark and his role of lead guitarist due to an overdose in the year of 1992. In the very prime years of glam metal in the late 80’s at the dawn of grunge genre about to begin, Def Leppard delivered the bands bestselling album to date with selling 25 million copies worldwide and 12 million in the US alone. The three year recording process of Hysteria was painstaking with the accident of drummer Rick Allen, and with producers coming and going left the band with the perfect example of sometimes patience truly does pay off. A unique recording process took place where each member recorded their own recordings at separate times, allowing each member to focus on their own performance on the album. The original intent of the album was to be a rock version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, with the desire of having every song off the album as a possible hit single. The end result of the album was impressive to say the least with 7 singles released off the single album alone. The album recording sessions were painstaking at times, “Animal” consisted of 2 and a half years to produce its final product, where “Pour Some Sugar On Me” was finished within two weeks.

    ADRENALIZED : LIFE, DEF LEPPARD AND BEYOND PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Philip Collen | 256 pages | 19 May 2016 | Transworld Publishers Ltd | 9780552170451 | English | London, United Kingdom Adrenalized : Life, Def Leppard and Beyond PDF Book It amazes me no one will do that! It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I, for one, found his take on fame and fortune refreshing. Could Phil Collen become your personal coach then? Harry Crisswell July 18, at pm Reply. I thought the guys were gonna hate it, but I showed it to them anyway — and they really liked it. Wow, these are beautiful! That's what happened to Rep. You can get away with a lot less, just by tweaking it here and there. I'm a huge Def Leppard fan. Leading with a foot-tapping bass beat, "Man Enough" has a jangly rhythm track that uses guitars sparingly. There is beauty in all of it. I lost 6 pounds in a week, and I wasn't actually trying to lose weight. They convey genuine strain and regret about a lost love, alongside a serene acoustic guitar. Sammy Helen! I knew that Collen started in a band named girl with Phil Lewis who went on the L. Def Leppard On Through the Night. Still, the band received a good amount of grief for releasing something so polished in a time when alternative bands were beginning to invade the airwaves. I also didn't appreciate that he blames this evil on religion, greed, blah blah blah, all while admitting his profession is part of the problem.
